To identify which host has rebooted, the
.B sm-notify
-command normally sends the results of
-.BR gethostname (3)

+string recorded when that remote was monitored.
The remote
.B rpc.statd
matches incoming SM_NOTIFY requests using this string,
.B tcp_wrapper
library or
.BR iptables (8).
-Note that the
-.B tcp_wrapper
-library supports only IPv4 networking.
To use the

Lock recovery after a reboot is critical to maintaining data integrity
and preventing unnecessary application hangs.

To help
.B rpc.statd
match SM_NOTIFY requests to NLM requests, a number of best practices
The hostname the client uses to mount the server should match the server's
.I mon_name
in SM_NOTIFY requests it sends
-.IP
-The use of network addresses as a
-.I mon_name

-.I my_name
-string should be avoided when
-interoperating with non-Linux NFS implementations.

Unmounting an NFS file system does not necessarily stop
either the NFS client or server from monitoring each other.
